He does, but for a guy screaming for his head, you would think you would have someone in mind to replace the 2nd best coach is wisc history. Always easy to say get rid of someone or criticize but harder to come up with an alternative.

I was surprised to say the least. Especially after BB came out blasting Meyer for his SEC like recruiting tactics. Rumored Sources state Alvarez may coach the Rose Bowl which would be cool. As for a replacement I'm hoping for Chryst. Sounds like he is the front runner but he may be happy at Pitt.

Then I see it now..Barry gets blown out and Lunch makes excuse after excuse as to why he lost...Barry will basically be the guy to just be the boss for one game...The assistants will do the prep work...

If he lost I would not be nearly as mad due to several reasons. Barry has not coached in years,does not probably know the entire playbook.

But if hes just The Boss and have the other people be the workhorse for prep I would not be upset. This was kinda unexpected for everyone.

Want a dark horse without Wisconsin ties.. one I like very much. Not a household name, but has NFL ties, Florida ties.. and relates very well to the kids. I would imagine with Wisconsin he would recruit very well.

Western Kentucky's Willie Taggart has become a red hot name for a number of head coaching openings. The Hilltoppers head coach interviewed with the University of Wisconsin Tuesday, according to sources. In addition, Taggart is in talks with South Florida for their opening, and was interviewed by Arkansas before the Razorbacks hired Badgers head coach Bret Bielema. Sources have told SB Nation that if Taggart is offered the USF job, he'll likely accept.Taggart has a 16-20 overall record since taking over his alma mater in 2010, and has the Hilltoppers bowl eligible for the second straight season. WKU will play Central Michigan in the Little Caesars Bowl on December 26, the first FBS bowl in WKU history.According to Brett McMurphy, USF did not ask for WKU's permission to interview Taggart.

The former Hilltoppers quarterback (1995-'98) returned to his alma mater following a three-season stint as running backs coach at Stanford under Jim Harbaugh. Taggart is credited for the development of Cardinal running backToby Gerhart, who won the Doak Walker award and was a Heisman finalist in 2009.Harbaugh's father, Jack, coached Taggart at WKU, as Taggart set multiple school records in Harbaugh's option offense and eventually had his jersey retired by the school. Taggart served as an assistant on the WKU staff under Harbaugh, including five seasons as offensive coordinator from 2002-'06. WKU won the I-AA national championship in 2002.
